PC repair! 🪛
Client reached out to us after having issue with their PC crashing when trying to load games and then just stopped booting altogether. They said they stuck the PC in the closet for months and just forgot about it. But now they are wanting to get it fixed!
When we first put the PC on the work bench we immediately noticed the sevear GPU sag. This puts a strain on the motherboard PCIe socket and on the Graphics Card. We attempted to boot the PC up and it failed to post. Confirming the clients last experience with the PC.
We took the graphics card out and tried a known working graphics card in its place and the PC booted right up. We then tried the clients GPU in 2 other PCs and confirmed that their graphics card has died. Likely from the extra stress from sagging. We advised the client that they needed a new graphics card and they had us order them one. We also ordered a GPU support brace to prevent the new GPU from sagging like the previous one.
While we waited for the new GPU to arrive, we updated everything in the clients PC. Windows 11 from Windows 10, drivers, software, motherboard BIOS (which was from 2020), and then optimized the settings for better performance.
With the new GPU installed and everything all up-to-date, the client picked up their PC and is ready to get back to gaming!
